A method for achieving NOx reduction in a combustion nozzle.

Abstract: A combustion nozzle includes a mixing section and an exit section. The mixing section includes an air inlet, and a fuel inlet. The exit section includes a plurality of jets formed in a predefined pattern on an exit surface. A ratio of a core area of the plurality of jets to an exit surface area is greater than 0.25.

Abstract: A combustion nozzle includes at least one passage having a mixing section and an exit section. The mixing section includes an air inlet, and a fuel inlet. The mixing section has a first length and a first diameter. The exit section has a second length different from the first length, and a second diameter different from the first diameter.

Abstract: In an inductive position sensor for determining the position, particularly the rotation angle, of a movable element, at least two subsystems are provided, which each have second transmitting units with an actuating unit, an oscillating circuit on the movable element, and a receiving unit with an evaluating unit. According to the invention, it is provided that the operation of the individual subsystems is carried out alternately. Thus, if one subsystem is operating, all other subsystems are deactivated. In this way, all subsystems are individually operated in a consecutive manner. The synchronization required to do so is provided by a non-galvanic coupling of the subsystems, and in particular by an inductive coupling by way of preferably existing inductances of the subsystems.

Abstract: The invention provides non-oxidative methods for the large scale manufacture of pyridoxamine (I) (4-aminomethyl-3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyridine): and salts thereof. The invention also provides intermediate compounds for the synthesis of pyridoxamine, as well as compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prevention of conditions associated with the formation of post-Amadori advanced glycation end-products.

Abstract: An inductive position sensor, which in particular is a rotational angle sensor, is provided with two first transmitter units for the generation of two site-dependent first alternating fields having the same carrier frequency, and at least one oscillating circuit arranged in or on an element which may be moved within the alternating field and the position of which is to be determined. The oscillating circuit can be energized by the total alternating field and generates a oscillating-circuit alternating field having the same carrier frequency as the first alternating fields.

Abstract: A wheel suspension has a wheel-guiding McPherson strut unit which includes a helical compression spring and a shock absorber, and which is connected to a vehicle body, on the one hand, and to a wheel on the other, and with a suspension arm wherein the compression spring is provided between an upper spring plate connected to the body and a lower spring plate connected to the shock absorber. The undesired, but unavoidable relative movements between the lower spring end of the compression spring and the lower spring plate connected to the shock absorber have an effect that is less negative than usual due to a coating provided between the lower spring end of the helical compression spring and the lower spring plate connected to the shock absorber protecting the lower spring end of the helical compression spring and/or the lower spring plate connected to the shock absorber.

Abstract: A veneer-slicing apparatus includes a flitch table movable relative to a carriage which carries a cutting blade for slicing veneer sheets from the flitch. The cutting blade is mounted on a blade carrier that is rotatable relative to the carriage. The apparatus further includes a remotely operable mechanism for adjusting the angle of attack of the cutting blade relative to the flitch by rotating the blade carrier relative to the carriage. The adjusting mechanism includes an electrohydraulic cylinder and piston coupled to the carriage and the cutting blade, a hydraulic fluid flow control valve, a piston position sensor, a computer, and an operator console. All of the components of the adjusting mechanism are electrically coupled to each other.
